The number of international students at higher education institutions has increased
dramatically over the past decades, in parallel to the efforts to identify, measure and manage the
special challenges they meet and their potentially negative responses. Internet gaming disorder
(IGD) has been identified as a potential problem in this context, but its measurement in some
specific populations is a challenging task because few adequate instruments exist. This paper
presents the adaptation and validation on a sample of Chinese young adults of one of the most
commonly used questionnaires in this area, the Problem Video Game Playing scale (PVP).
